2017 Map of Au Sable Point

About this map

Au Sable Point projects into the cold waters of Lake Superior, serving as a focal point for this section of the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. The terrain is characterized by the immediate shoreline and the drainage patterns of Hurricane River and Sullivan Cr, which feeds into Sullivan Lake. Modern recreation and conservation are evident in the path of the N Country National Scenic Trail as it skirts the coast, providing access to this stretch of Alger County. The map details a network of forestry and local access roads such as H-58 Seasonal Rd and Timber Rd, reflecting the managed nature of the surrounding wilderness. This 2017 survey documents the precise boundary of the national lakeshore and the topographic contours of the coastal headlands during a period of established federal protection.
